Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid showing from Justin Fields, we tripled Nate's Awesome Team at the quarterback position this past week (40.38 points to 13.04). Fields went 12-for-20 for 167 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 31-30 loss to the Lions.
Nate's Awesome Team
Take my word for it (since I'm a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that gritty Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the road!
